UL receiver Brown
breaks collarbone

Brown is facing a healing period of 4-to-6 weeks, the spokesman said. If that's the case, the senior-to-be should be good to go for UL's Aug. 31 season-opener at Arkansas.

A Baton Rouge-Capitol High product who transferred to UL from Northwestern State, Brown had 15 catches for 187 yards as the Cajuns' backup in the slot behind senior Harry Peoples last season.

Going into the spring, he was listed at UL's No. 2 slot receiver behind Darryl Surgent, who started on the outside in 2012.

Brown had two catches for 23 yards Saturday.

CB Revis begins next
step with Buccaneers

Darrelle Revis is confident he will fully recover from a major knee injury and help transform the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into a playoff team.

The three-time All-Pro cornerback acquired from the New York Jets was formally introduced Monday as the newest member of a defense that ranked last in the NFL in pass defense in 2012.

Revis said he's going to "do my best" to play up to expectations that come with a new six-year, $96 million contract and insisted during a news conference that he holds no grudges against his old team, which was reluctant to give a player coming off surgery to repair a torn knee ligament such a commitment.

"I have nothing to prove to the New York Jets," Revis said. "I have nothing to prove to anybody."

Weeks of reports about the 27-year-old's future ended Sunday when the Jets traded Revis to the Bucs in exchange for the 13th overall pick in this week's NFL draft and another selection next year.

The star cornerback also agreed to what Revis conceded is a "unique" contract that includes no guaranteed money.

"The contract will take care of itself," he said. "I've just got to go out and play."

The Buccaneers not only are banking on Revis to be physically ready to open the season in September against - yes - the Jets, but believe he's far enough long in his recovery to reasonably expect he'll be able to get on the field for the start of training camp this summer.
